Convert Arabic to Roman

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is about converting numbers from the Arabic numeral system (also known as the base-10 or decimal system) to Roman numerals. It provides a set of Arabic numbers in individual boxes, and students are required to write the equivalent Roman numeral in the adjacent space. The Arabic numbers given range from two-digit numbers up to the lower nineties. This format allows students to focus on each conversion one at a time, reinforcing their understanding of the Roman numeral system.

The worksheet is intended to teach students how to translate the Arabic numerals that they are familiar with into Roman numerals, a system used in ancient Rome and still in use for certain functions today. It helps students to recognize and apply the values of Roman numeral symbols, such as I, V, X, L, and C, to represent numbers. This exercise enhances students’ number sense and their ability to switch between different numeral systems. Moreover, learning Roman numerals can improve students’ cultural and historical knowledge, as these numerals are often seen in various historical contexts.
